Sure, especially when that preperation is for my character

For my part, my latest session used:
There Is No Spoon [a Matrix fan free rules pdf]

That's it. And it was a blast.

My current PbP uses:
Ars Magica 4th Edition
Hermes Portal (an Ars Magica fanzine)
The Dragon and the Bear (see quote above)

And my last D&D game, actually about a month ago, uses
Core rules 3.5 (all three)
Ravenloft 3e books (not sure which, the DM uses them)

Just one

For my first session of WLD on Friday night, I used just one book - the World's Largest Dungeon itself. My players on the other hand used just about anything they could get their grubby little paws on including Races of Stone, Complete Warrior and about six other books that they have and I don't!
